Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by Dr. M. Koteswara Rao 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Dear colleagues, I am happy to note that prof. mangla has raised a very relevant and pertinent issue which is also brooding in my mind for some time. Yes, indeed the 'science' in our profession does not stand out clearly for obvious reasons. In our universities, we have LIS departments under the faculty of Arts and Science also. We also notice that every other profession has a clear mandate and a 'professional calling' which is acceptable and respected by everyone. I think with the introduction of IT in libraries the LIS profession has come a long way both in term of skills used by the library staff to deliver information in non-traditional ways, and the paradigm shift in information generation, storage, processing and dissemination itself. The name Library & Information Management is aptly suitable for our professional courses as suggested by Prof. Mangla. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Librarian University of Hyderabad > Dear Professsionals, > For quite some time I have been debating with people in the LIS that it is > high time that we give a fesh look to the nomenclature of our professional > degrees. I now strongly hold the view that the word Science in our qualifications has lost its utility or charm and the professional degree should henceforth be called B./M.degree in Library & information Management.This is the need of the hour and our courses should be revised > accordingly.The name Lib.& Inf.Sc. has today become a misnomer.

Need to Review the Present Nomenclature

Dear Professsionals, For quite some time I have been debating with people in the LIS that it is high time that we give a fesh look to the nomenclature of our professional degrees. I now strongly hold the view that the word Science in our qualifications has lost its utility or charm and the professional degree should henceforth be called B./M.degree in Library & information Management.This is the need of the hour and our courses should be revised accordingly.The name Lib.& Inf.Sc. has today become a misnomer. I would like to have the view of the professionals through this Forum and then we should possibly plan a strategy to bring about the desired cahnge.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by Charu Mathur 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Respected friends, I fully agree with Prof. P.B.Mangla that now it is high time has to change not only the nomenclature but also the whole image of LIS World. Although, we have entered in digital world, still LIS Professionals are considered not more than circulation clerk and library is a place where one can get the books or in most sophisticated words INFORMATION. To break the ice, our well conversant LIS Force must be equipped with latest technology. Internet and its peripherals are the essential element of LIS world. Open Access, Virtual Library, Knowledge Repository, E-Resources, Blogging, User Behaviour, Communication Technology and techniques, Cyber law, Intellectual Property Right, Meta Data are most prevailing terms nowadays but they are no- where in LIS curriculum in any level. A fine integration of history and modern technique of LIS is need of the day.

Information Literacy Logo
by Indira K. 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

Dear Professionals, Winner of the Global Information Literacy Logo contest announced. Mr. Abdul Wahid Khan, (Assistant Director-General, for UNESCO Communication and Information announced the Winning design and Winner for the new global Information Literacy logo at the IFLA Annual Congress in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Among the 200 designs submitted by 139 artists from 36 countries, the panel of judges selected the winning design by Edgar Luy Pérez (graduate of the Institute of Design of Havana) from Cuba. Pérez's design contains universally recognized symbols: a stylized book with open pages representing learning and a circle of knowledge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Pérez, "The logo communicates, in a simple way, the human ability to both search and access information, not only through traditional means, but also through the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), as it uses graphic resources known all over the world, such as the book and the circle. The first one symbolizes study, and the second, knowledge and information, which today are made more available through informatics, showing with this that its social aim is to communicate. The book, open and next to the circle, comprises with it a visual metaphor representing those people who have the cognitive tools to reach information in a nimble way, as well as the desire to share this ability." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Logo is available in English, French, Russian and Spanish and is free of charge. Start promoting Information Literacy and the logo, an international symbol of information literacy.
